The name Temazcal, or temazcalli is made of two Nahuatl words, temas, which means bath, and calli, meaning house. At the time of the Conquest, they were found everywhere in almost all of central and southern Mexico.
The Temazcal is directed by a specially trained healer (called in Mexico, the Temazcalera/ro) who prepares the Temazcal, and then enters the chamber with the patient to oversee and manage the course of the bath. She/ he can raise or lower the intensity of the heat during the bath through ventilating the chamber using the entranceway, or by fanning with the fan made up of branches of a suitable herb that she/he has chosen, or raising or lowering the height at which the patient is placed to do the bath (heat rise, and the Temazcal is much cooler at floor level than it is towards the root, and with all gradations in between).
Temazcal is prepared by placing leaves, mats or low benches inside for the people to sit or lie on. A tea is prepared with which to make the steam. Herbs that may be used for purpose include eucalyptus, rosemary, mugwart, or other warming or stimulating herbs and the bucket of tea is placed, still hot, inside the Temazcal. An herbal tea should be prepared for drinking afterwards. This may be a tea selected for a specific condition or may be a general tea for all, such as chamomile, sassafras, horehound, or milfoil.
When we enter the "temazcal", we return to our mother´s womb, clean our body inside, get rid of all the bad energies. When we go out the temazcal, it is like being born again as a new person.
Una "Limpia" (Cleaning your body)

You can have just the experience of a Temazcal for a reasonable price.
You can add to the Temazcal a massage
or a facial cleaning
or clean your body from the bad energy that is around us.
